BPML Clause Samples

BPML. Business Process Modelling Language (BPML) is an open specification defined by BPMI. It aims to enable the standards-based management of e-Business processes with forthcoming Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). The Business Process Modelling Language (BPML) is a meta-language for the modelling of business processes, just as XML is a meta-language for the modelling of business data. BPML provides an abstracted execution model for collaborative transactional business processes based on the concept of a transactional finite-state machine. BPML considers e-Business processes as made of a common public interface and as many private implementations as process participants. This enables the public interface of BPML processes to be described as ebXML business processes, independently of their private implementations. In much the same way XML documents are usually described in a specific XML Schema layered on top of the eXtensible Markup Language, BPML processes can be described in a specific business process modelling language layered on top of the extensible BPML XML Schema. BPML represents business processes as the interleaving of control flow, data flow, and event flow, while adding orthogonal design capabilities for business rules, security roles, and transaction contexts. Defined as a medium for the convergence of existing applications toward process-oriented enterprise computing, BPML offers explicit support for synchronous and asynchronous distributed transactions, and therefore can be used as an execution model for embedding existing applications within e- Business processes as process components. BPML describes the structural representation of a process and the semantics of its execution. As with BPEL, the vision of BPML is to run XML processes on an engine element by element, according to precisely defined semantics. The code of a BPML process with familiar constructs such as loops, decisions, parallel paths, variables, and structured exception handling is readily understood by a programmer. The essential language constructs to create a BPML process are : The basic process structure: BPML processes are enveloped in a package. Each process has a name, a set of activities, and optionally, a compensation handler. A process can have subprocesses, as well as a context, which in turn can contain fault handlers, exception processes, subprocesses, and properties. There are three ways to start a process: through an activity, a message, or a signal. Variab...

  • Supplier A manufacturer, fabricator, distributor, supplier, or vendor of goods or equipment in connection with the Work, or any other party having a Contract or Purchase Order with the Contractor or with a Subcontractor to furnish materials or equipment to be incorporated in the Work by the Contractor or a Subcontractor.

  • Distributor The Trust hereby appoints the Distributor as general distributor of shares of beneficial interest (“Series shares”) of the Trust’s WCM Funds series (the “Series”) during the term of this Agreement. The Trust reserves the right, however, to refuse at any time or times to sell any Series shares hereunder for any reason deemed adequate by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

  • Vendor upon request and without further consideration, shall perform any acts that may be deemed reasonably necessary or desirable by Customer to evidence more fully the transfer of ownership and/or registration of all Intellectual Property Rights in all Work Product to Customer to the fullest extent possible, including but not limited to the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of such further documents in a form determined by Customer. In the event Customer shall be unable to obtain Vendor’s signature due to the dissolution of Vendor or Vendor’s unreasonable failure to respond to Customer’s repeated requests for such signature on any document reasonably necessary for any purpose set forth in the foregoing sentence, Vendor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Customer and its duly authorized officers and agents as Vendor’s agent and Vendor’s attorney-in-fact to act for and in Vendor’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further any such purpose with the same force and effect as if executed and delivered by Vendor, provided however that no such grant of right to Customer is applicable if Vendor fails to execute any document due to a good faith dispute by Vendor with respect to such document. It is understood that such power is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable. Customer shall have the full and sole power to prosecute such applications and to take all other action concerning the Work Product, and Vendor shall cooperate, at Customer’s sole expense, in the preparation and prosecution of all such applications and in any legal actions and proceedings concerning the Work Product.

  • Licensor any Person from whom a Grantor obtains the right to use any Intellectual Property. Lien: any Person’s interest in Property securing an obligation owed to, or a claim by, such Person, whether such interest is based on common law, statute or contract, including liens, security interests, pledges, hypothecations, statutory trusts, reservations, exceptions, encroachments, easements, rights-of-way, covenants, conditions, restrictions, leases, and other title exceptions and encumbrances affecting Property. Lien Waiver: an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent, by which (a) for any material Collateral located on leased premises, the lessor waives or subordinates any Lien it may have on the Collateral, and agrees to permit Collateral Agent to enter upon the premises and remove the Collateral or to use the premises to store or dispose of the Collateral; (b) for any Collateral held by a warehouseman, processor, shipper, customs broker or freight forwarder, such Person waives or subordinates any Lien it may have on the Collateral, agrees to hold any Documents in its possession relating to the Collateral as agent for Collateral Agent, and agrees to deliver the Collateral to Collateral Agent upon request; (c) for any Collateral held by a repairman, mechanic or bailee, such Person acknowledges Collateral Agent’s Lien, waives or subordinates any Lien it may have on the Collateral, and agrees to deliver the Collateral to Collateral Agent upon request; and (d) for any Collateral subject to a Licensor’s Intellectual Property rights, the Licensor grants to Collateral Agent the right, vis-à-vis such Licensor, to enforce Collateral Agent’s Liens with respect to the Collateral, including the right to dispose of it with the benefit of the Intellectual Property, whether or not a default exists under any applicable License.

  • Licensee “Licensee” means the individual or company that has entered into an Agreement with the Embassy. “Offer” means a response to a solicitation that, if accepted, would bind the offeror to perform the resultant Agreement.
